My mind keeps traveling back to these days over and over again, now knowing that we have more snowy adventures together to come. The fact that a group of people from around the world who had never met before, still stay in touch soon 2 years later, meeting up and planning new adventures together is beautiful, warming and gives me the little kick in the booty butt & motivation to keep believing in those good good good things ahead

Moments from the @fjallravenofficial Classic Sweden.
It was pouring rain that day, making the stage a real challenge due to the weather.
After a short break and a friendly visit from a four-legged companion, we met our friend and outdoor/expedition expert @bornfouradventure
Together, we set off and hiked the rest of the day’s stage.

A challenging day that became all the more special thanks to good company and unexpected encounters along the way.

Fjallraven Classic Sweden 2026 part 4:

Day 4 was notably less rainy, but still atmospheric AF; moody dark clouds interspersed with occasional rays of golden sunshine.  It was sadly also the day we had to say goodbye to Anton, Melanie, Eszter and Nusi (they had to pick up the pace to finish for their earlier flights home).  Super sad to see them go, but what a brilliant few days we had spent as one big group.  Forever grateful to Fjallraven for inviting us all.

Lunch was a highlight when Chris and Marie (who had been slightly ahead) used their tarp to create a shelter for those of us who arrived a little later.. they sat holding it over us whilst we boiled our water and ate 😭. Honestly the loveliest kindest gesture... Little moments like this are what I love most about our group, and it was so nice to have Marie (Chris's girlfriend), Holly (Jared's wife) and Nusi (Eszter's friend) as honorary members of the polar fam.

At Alesjaure, we said our final goodbyes, only to catch up with Harald again, and be joined by Roy (one of the lead mushers from Polar) and his beautiful but nervous lead dog Lina.

We were easily persuaded  to lend a hand in stacking logs at the trekking station as a nice gesture to the staff there... What a pleasant change to work the arms instead of the legs for an hour or so, and a warm feeling to be helping others.

After that, we set up camp with Harald and Roy nearby and had a lovely evening sat around chatting and listening to Ismael recount tall tales from Polar (the veracity of which are still under scrutiny, but in no way detract from their entertainment value).

(To be continued...)

📸 Thanks as always to Timo @tii_hn for the generous use of his beautiful pics (8, 19, 20 and 21). Go check his page for more stunning imagery.

🎥 And thanks to Syameem @syameemraub for the video of us stacking wood. Go follow him if you want to vicariously experience some absolutely epic adventures.. I am excited for his next one! 🚂

Fjallraven Classic Sweden 2026 Part 3:

Day 3

On my morning toilet/ water collection trip, I saw reindeer grazing on the ridgeline... Within minutes they were right by our camp, completely unphased by us.  We watched in total delight until they meandered off.

After a seemingly never ending (slight exaggeration) day 2, I'd been hoping for an easier/ shorter day.  Problem was that the Tjäktja pass (highest/ hardest section of the Fjallraven Swedish Classic) was too close to set up camp before, but that there wouldn't be a spot to camp for some time after.

Apparently 'trail legs' are a whole thing, tho... and, incredibly, mine kicked in after a couple of k. It suddenly felt much easier than the previous day and the pass was way less arduous than I'd anticipated.  My pace picked up and I just got on with it.  The weather treated us to full 'Scottish autumn', so I felt right at home.

As we passed through Sälka, I spotted movement just off the trail, and it turned out to be a ptarmigan.

Then we got some magnificent rainbows, which caught me out emotionally... When we scattered my Dad's ashes off the blustery coast of Wales, a huge double rainbow appeared... ever since then when I see one I think of him, and tell him 'hi, Dad'.  I also lost one of my favourite people shortly before the walk... his only sister.  I had anticipated the walk being a bit of an opportunity to process some of that grief, but in reality my thoughts were very much in the moment (where I was putting my foot, when I'd have a snack etc), but that was a wonderful gift in itself: to be truly present in the moment and free of other thoughts. Though I did, on numerous occasions, feel very grateful to have a body capable of undertaking a multi day hike.

We finished the day with our most spectacular and windy camp, surrounded by glaciers, waterfalls and snow capped mountains. The middle of the night toilet trip gifted a beautiful sunset (we never got proper darkness and sunrise/ sunset were merely hours apart).

Days 3 and 4 were probably my favourite days, where it seemed a shame that we would ever have to stop.

One year ago I was lucky enough to be chosen for the ’25 @fjallravenofficial Polar expedition.

A year later the team and I were lucky again to be invited to their “Classic” event in Sweden.

One humongous 6 day hike on the infamous “Kungsleden”.

And what a MEGA adventure it was!!

Last time we used dogs. This time we used our legs.

Turns out carrying everything you need to not die on your back for 110km, is quite a challenge.

But the best bit?

Reuniting with the squad.

Like a bunch of international nomads we trekked…

Set up our little village…

Talked absolute codswallop over dehydrated meals…

Slept with hot water bottles…

Woke up, packed up, and set off again.

So many laughs with some real good eggs.

Thanks again Fjallraven for an absolutely top class and impeccably organised trip.

Very grateful to be part of the family ❤️

Fjallraven Classic Sweden 2026 part 1:

When the good people at @fjallravenofficial invited the Polar 2025 team to their 110k trek through Swedish Lapland, we ripped their arm off!

Whilst a couple of folk sadly couldn't make it (whaddaya mean Australia is too far?!), we brought bigggg Polar energy from Malaysia, the US, Netherlands, Germany, Ireland, Scotland, England, Hungary, Italy, Norway/ Latin America, Sweden and Denmark... (Where'd I miss?) along with a few (bloody lovely) plus ones.

A group of us met at Stockholm airport and got the night train north to Kiruna. The first of several mini Polar reunions, it was super heartwarming to be back together again. We had a private couchette with 6 comfy bunks, but we barely slept for the rocking and noise (and maybeeeee a lil bit of excitement!)

In Kiruna, we picked up gas/ expedition meals etc for the coming week, reunited with other Polare, and took in a talk on the Arctic Fox 🦊.

Then we headed out to a big cabin that we had rented for the night and cold dipped/ sauna'd/ chatted/ caught up/ ate until everyone had arrived (with Ismael and Diego finally making it to Kiruna after a hitchhiking odyssey due to cancelled trains).

Our Polar leader, Harald joined us for dinner, and by the time he left, we had somehow got the bare bones for another Arctic expedition on the table, and were full of EVEN more excitement 🤣

It would be an early start, after a lot of travelling, so it was off to bed, ready to start trekking the next day.

Shoutout to my friend @bornfouradventure, who taught me the value of true leadership, integrity and character. I did not know anything about an Arctic expedition of this scale, but he made the unknown an adventure, celebrating uncertainty and setting an example of courage and grit 🫶🏼

Best part is that we get to dream big dreams for the future of @fjallravenofficial , @the_explorers_club and @explorersclub_africa 🐾
